Study Notes
Duck Viral Enteritis
- Caused by the Anatid herpesvirus.
Avian Influenza A Virus Infection
- Clinical signs in waterfowl include respiratory distress, decreased egg production, and neurological symptoms.
Classification of Avian Influenza Virus
- Classified into two main types based on pathogenicity: low pathogenic avian influenza (LPAI) and highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI).
Bumblefoot Lesions
- Type II bumblefoot lesions are commonly associated with the presence of Staphylococcus spp. bacteria.
- Recommended treatment for Type I bumblefoot includes cleaning the infected area, applying antiseptics, and possibly bandaging.
- Prognosis for Type III bumblefoot lesions tends to be poor due to advanced tissue damage.
Fungal Diseases in Pet Birds
- Aspergillosis is the most common fungal disease affecting pet birds.
- Primary route of contracting aspergillosis is through inhalation of fungal spores, often found in contaminated environments.
Susceptibility to Aspergillosis
- Birds that are commonly more susceptible include parrots, raptors, and other species kept in captivity.
Avian Pox Virus Infection
- Common symptoms include lesions on the skin and around the beak, eyes, and feet.
- Mode of transmission for avian pox viruses primarily occurs through direct contact and a vector-based mechanism, typically involving insects.
Mycobacterium Species in Birds
- Mycobacterium avium is reported in various bird species, particularly waterfowl and finches.
Common Haemoparasites in Birds
- Haemoproteus spp. is a common haemoparasite found in many wild birds, especially corvids and raptors.
Treatments for Hemoparasites
- Treatments for protozoal haemoparasites in birds typically include antiprotozoal medications like imidocarb.
Viral Diseases in Pigeons
- Pigeon circovirus is a common viral disease in pigeons and is considered a notifiable disease in the UK.
